planes, trains, n tuk tuks….

Dinner was interesting.  We decided to go  the opposite way of town to explore and stumbled across a locals only bar.  Bery chic young kis kept filing thru the door – poped collars, izod shirts, perfect over styled hair.  and most suprisingly….they all had braces!  Most Thais we’ve seen on a daily basis are a l’il rough round the edges appearance wise, (though not as rough as we already are) but not this lot.  Private school aged all ording a bottle of whiskey and 3 bottles of tonic / table, that they mixed 1 part tonic 3 parts whiskey.  Not a word of english was spoken by anyone leaving us to wonder what language the wealthy kids are learning…chinese?    All the service industry, stall workers, vendors speak enough to tout their goods, but only cause their livlihood depends on it.  We hand gestured our way thru ordering food which sas more complicated then it should have been turning out there was only one item on the menu.  hotpot.  A cooker full of broth with stacks of individual meats, veggies, and spices followed.  After cooking the meats on the top and mixing the soup at the bottom we had ourselves a feast.  dinner and a cooking lesson…not bad.   As more and more posh kids filed thru the door we started to get self concious about our scruffy appearance and headed home feeling like we might have brought the street credit of that place down a little.
